Fallout 3 (Now, With Spoilers!)Follow

X-play...ahahahahahaha

Killed the heart...I got ...uh... OH, barkskin mutation from the radioactive blood hitting me. I think it gave -5% damage taken or something. Next play-though, I'll probably get the hood you got.

Well, I just finished the game earlier today. I'm not going to go into too much detail on the ending, so as not to spoil anybody. Suffice it to say, though, pretty much the entire second "half" of the main quest felt like it was more or less thrown together in the last couple of weeks before release, and the ending itself left a rather bitter taste in my mouth, ESPECIALLY since I didn't get to continue playing afterward like EVERY OTHER #*@&ING BETHESDA TITLE!

Overall, it's certainly an enjoyable game, and I'll most likely be replaying it several times, but I think in the future I'm going to mostly ignore the main quest, or at least, leave it on the backburner until I've leveled up a whole lot and done a bunch of sidequests.

hit three things, if you dont get it, turn off the computer and restart it, it will completely reset.

usually i just go in, guess 3 words, exit, rinse and repeat until i get it.

*SPOILERS!*
It says in the thread, but extra warning maybe helps a bit.



I found out that you could kill him easy by hiding under the building left,(left from facing the GNR door) there he cant reach you, he goes chasing around those 2 BoS named NPC's that are unkillable while you take pot shots with any weapon. So it was an easy fight for me.
Anyway with me just before i came to GNR i met a platoon of BoS Lyons pride guys, one of them that Lyon's pride leader lady. (i play good this first go-through)
I thought maybe throw it in as a tip for those who have difficulty with that fight.

For the rest im doing every side quest possible / i have before progressing through the main quest, for the rest i explored a lot, i see buildings far off and go check em out. Im level 15 and just got my power armor training yesterday.

For the game itself,
Personally i also played 1 and 2 "back in the day" and thought 3 is 10x better in every aspect and when i reached vault 112 i elevated 3 to pure genius status.
Not majorly original themes, true, but very well executed. I LOVE the game, while i thought Morrowind was very so-so, and extremly clunky gameplay, I didnt even finish it.

On the official forums i saw people complaining how it was "not as cool as the original", some people always complain, they say the fights arent as strategic, they must have played another fallout 1 and 2 then i have bc those games were standing still and unloading your preferred weapon. And also NPC's were useless mules (esp after you get power armor) and as uncontrollable as in 3.

And i get the level cap, its not fun when your char is way OP for the content as in Fallout 2.

the level cap kinda sucks, but tehre is now a mod that increases it to 30-40.

theres lots of other neat stuff, including a flash map with area and bobblehead locations, for those that like knowing where everything is.

I meant the behemoth outside of the GNR building. I finally went back and did that quest, and the followup with Three Dog. An interesting quest line, but totally unneeded for me when I finally went back through. It was good for exploring downtown though.

I got to Rivet City by way of the river too, but I stayed on the banks, sneaking around the decaying buildings, and only had to deal with raiders on occasion.

I remember that I think you suck for some reason I can't remember, and you were really really pestering me with questions about why I think you suck, which made me think you sucked more.

I have been enjoying this game as well on the Xbox 360. My only problem is that I haven't yet decided on the "correct" Spec for stats and perks. I played through to level 7 and thats usually the time I get the feeling to start over and do a better job...

Incredible game though. It may be years until I finish it!

I've been sitting here ready to play for like a half hour but I can't stop just listening to Billy Holiday.

..maybe I'm a fool but it's fun♫

Up to level 17.8 as of last night. I haven't even progressed the main story line too much after Three Dog.

Playing as an almost holy karma guy with lockpicking, small guns, laser guns, and explosives maxed out.

This game is still as fresh as the day it came out.

The only problem is that I cannot do anything evil. The closest thing to taking a bad karma hit was lockingpicking a door for a bobble head.

I am such a wuss.
